My Italian Chapter 357

My Italian https://

Near the end of the year, Italy is getting busier and busier, and Admiral Yagier, who was once mad at the new battleship plan, finally got a satisfactory result. After some fierce competition, the proposal of the chief designer Benedetto Brin from Andosal Shipyard finally won the favor of the Admiralty.

In this plan, the new battleship is 128 meters long and 22.5 meters wide. The gross tonnage is limited to a standard displacement of 13,400 tons, a full-load displacement of 15,900 tons, and a draft of 8 meters.

In terms of firepower, the new battleship is equipped with two double-mounted 356mm main guns, which are arranged in a one-to-one manner. In addition, there are 8 254mm secondary main guns, which are also arranged in a one-on-one-two configuration.

Although the layout is a little weird, it's also a no-brainer. The 254mm secondary main gun is much larger than the 152mm that has been used before, so the two double-mounted 254mm 254mm guns arranged in the midship in the layout are arranged in a dislocation, which can ensure the output of firepower on both sides.

In addition, the formal battleship is also equipped with 12 76mm secondary guns and 6 47mm guns.

On the armor, its broadside armor is 3.4 meters wide and 160-320 mm thick, the deck armor is 72 mm, and the turret armor is 320 mm. Yes, you read that right. The thickness of the armor has been cut, and the reason for the cut is very simple. After the Krupp armored steel was adopted, the thickness of the armor is now sufficient, and thicker armor is not needed.

On the contrary, the hull structure needs to be improved. Considering the threat of more and more advanced torpedoes to warships, various small compartments inside and outside the hull are considered.

Of course, the mine protection cabin is not enough, and the use of armored boxes is also indispensable, so the armor protection of key cabins is also essential.

In terms of power, 12 single-headed cylindrical water-tube boilers, two 4-cylinder vertical triple-expansion steam engines with 2 shafts and 2 propellers can provide a strong power of 17,000 horsepower, propelling the warship to a maximum speed of 19.4 knots. The endurance is 6500 nautical miles in 10 knots.

The most commendable thing in terms of power is this water-tube boiler. As the latest masterpiece of the Naval Power Research Institute, this water-tube boiler is very good. It can provide higher power and greater economy, and can improve endurance and efficiency. It is also currently The world's first battleship with a water-tube boiler.

In general, this new battleship has a limited performance improvement over the Turin class, and is more of an enhanced version of endurance and firepower, but in terms of construction costs, it is not much lower than that of the Turin class. The 24.5 million lire shipbuilding is also almost the same.

Of course, this cost is conscientious enough, and the ship will have to increase by at least 1 million lire outside.

The Navy had a lot to gain in 1895, and of course it also benefited other branches of his family, such as the Ministry of Education.

In the budget of 1896, the Ministry of Education won a budget of 348 million liras in one fell swoop, reaching a record high.

The Ministry of Education received such a generous budget thanks to the Ministry of Education's proposal to pilot eight-year compulsory education. That's right, the Ministry of Education believes that the current five-year primary education system implemented nationwide can no longer meet Italy's demand for talents, so the five-year system must be changed to an eight-year system to provide the country with higher-quality talents.

To this end, Education Minister Relian Dillon ran many times to explain to the Prime Minister and the King the importance of eight-year compulsory education. According to him, if the compulsory education is increased to eight years, at least 250,000 qualified skilled workers can be provided to Italy every year, and 20,000 higher education students can be added at the same time. catch up with the great powers.

Lord Dillon is not talking nonsense, this is well-documented. As far as the current Italian compulsory education is concerned, the enrollment rate of school-age children is 96.4%, and the graduation rate is 91.7%, which fully proves the Italian families' support for their children's schooling.

Adding three years of study time will not reduce the enrollment rate too much, allowing more school-age children to learn more knowledge, and it will also have a huge demographic dividend for the development of Italy.

That's right, this is what His Majesty the wise and powerful king said. Isn't the word demographic dividend too good? On the contrary, there is a population trap.

Of course, with a budget of 348 million liras, does the Ministry of Education need to spend the effect? ​​All this is already in the plan of the Ministry of Education.

At present, the Ministry of Education intends to carry out pilot projects for eight-year compulsory education in several places, namely Lombardy (the capital Milan), Lazio (the capital Rome), Campania (the capital Naples), and the Viceroyalty of Sicily (the capital). Palermo), Borneo Colony (capital Pontianak).

You read that right, the Ministry of Education has ambitious plans to first give one-third of the local population and 70% of the overseas population an eight-year compulsory education. Although this is not intended to start within a year, the two-year plan is still ambitious.

Of course, the Ministry of Education also has its own ideas. Among the first batch of regions and colonizers to implement eight-year compulsory education, their local governments must share part of the financial burden.

The specifics vary from person to person. For example, in Campania and the Viceroyalty of Sicily, which are not rich in the south, the Ministry of Education may allocate more money. The northern region of Lombardy and the capital Lazio region, rely more on the local government to bear its financial pressure. As for the Borneo colony, it is more self-financing. The Ministry of Education supports a group of its teachers at most~www.mtlnovel.com~ Yes, the colony is like this. Fortunately, the Borneo colonial government has money and can afford it. Of course, according to the words of the Ministry of Finance, to say that the Italian local government is the richest, Lombardy is not as good as Borneo, and selling all kinds of resources is just money.

In addition, the reason why the Ministry of Education is so stingy is very simple. It takes a lot of money to build a middle school. For example, a medium-sized secondary school with a capacity of 800 students requires about 2.1 million lire and more than 40 teaching staff. Judging from the current goals set by the Ministry of Education, it is necessary to add or expand 150-180 primary and secondary schools in China (both large and small, and in some places, the source of primary school students cannot meet the facility standards).

This is only needed for construction or expansion funds, 300 to 400 million lire, how is it possible to rely on the money from the Ministry of Education. So at this time, it is necessary to take into account the funds, of course, it is not enough to consider the funds. For example, the two major southern regions take into account the issue of the balance between the north and the south. Lazio, taking into account the capital factor, as for Borneo, it is a big dog.

As for the equally rich Piedmont region (the capital city of Turin), Veniu (the capital city of Venice), Liguria (the capital city of Genoa) and other northern regions, why not choose it. The teachers are not enough, and they can only give priority to carefully selected regions, and other places will follow.

And considering that after the addition of junior high schools, it will also increase the source of students in high schools and universities in the future, so this is not just a matter of setting up junior high schools. The expansion of high schools and universities also needs to be considered.

In a word, the increase in the number of years of compulsory education is not a matter of a word or just money. Issues that need to be considered are also not ignored.
